Full Description
View Full DescriptionTriple Crown
The triple-channel Triple Crown TC-50 is a gigging and recording musician's dream amp. Featuring 3 completely independent channels, 50 watts of gig-ready tone, and multiple outputs including Mesa Boogie's cab-simulated Cab Clone; the Triple Crown can adapt to any musical genre and professional situation.
3-Channel Versatility
The TC-50's 3-channels are completely independent, each with a 3-band EQ, presence, gain, and level controls for complete tonal sculpting, alongside a voicing switch which selects between normal/tight responses (normal/drive on the clean channel). These 3 channels are accessible via MIDI control or the included footswitch, giving you instant access to sparkly cleans, edge-of-breakup drives, crunch, overdrive, and full-on saturation with huge harmonic content for the most nuanced and complex solo tones. This gives you the full spectrum of tones, from vintage to contemporary sounds and everything in between.
50 Watts Plus Solo Boost
Two master volumes allow you to set a core volume level, alongside a preset boosted level for solo jumps. The amp's 50 watts are delivered with Mesa's A/B valve power, giving you incredible headroom, dynamic response, and compression when you push the amp into overdrive. This is the ideal level for professional gigging and recording musicians.
Switch from EL34 to 6L6's in an Instant
The Triple Crown TC-50 comes pre-loaded with EL34 valves for a British-style rock voice when overdriven. Should you wish to switch to 6L6 output valves for an American-style tone, simply swap your tubes and flick the fixed bias switch - no fiddly biasing needed or phone calls to your amp technician. The EL34's can even be directly switched for 6V6's, giving you a half-power output with a bubbly, vintage-style response with more harmonic content at lower volumes.
Cab Clone
Mesa Boogie's well-established Cab Clone is featured on the TC-50, giving you a direct-out signal with the emulation of several different cab types - perfect for gigging and recording. A handy headphone out also lets you practice silently, with a built-in speaker-defeat for safe, silent operation.
MIDI, FX Loop, and More
MIDI Control allows you to integrate the Triple Crown with your live switching rig, with a one-button store process to quickly save presets. A tube-buffered FX loop provides an easy way to connect your time-based effects pedals with clarity and warmth. The TC-50 also has a built-in, all-tube reverb circuit with a rich sound and independent levels between the LO and HI channels.
